Sammanfattning
79% of all four-year-old Danish children are vaccinated twice for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). Administration of the second MMR dose is recommended in order to prevent primary vaccine failure, which occurs in 5%. In 2011 the largest outbreak of measles for 15 years took place in Denmark and this is a case report of measles in a ten-year-old vaccinated boy. He had received a single dose of MMR vaccine at the recommended age of 17 months. To prevent larger outbreaks of measles, a larger percentage of Danish children must receive the recommended two doses of vaccine for MMR.
